Hi,

When I get a backup of my Windows XP box running cygwin (CYGWIN_NT-5.1
1.5.18(0.132/4/2) 2005-07-02 20:30), I get permission denied on many
files. Can anybody explain what is going on here?

Here are the commands that I used and the output I got:

$> rsync -avze ssh --exclude-from=rsync-winbox-windows-excludes.txt
winbox:'/cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/winuser' /tmp/winbox/windows/
